I think I might have picked up a key logger virus this morning, ironically from a driver download link site from a member of an audio forum. It blocks off all access to the internet and warns that you have 5 major and 5 serious mal-ware infections. It makes it so that the only way to get back on the internet is to purchase their US$80 software.The site is called Microsoft High End Security Essentials and looks very similar in layout to the genuine Microsoft site with a similar name so easy to be persuaded. It only seemed to affect the User Account of the user on the PC when the link was opened.
The only way I could get rid of it was to log on as a different Administator, delete my own account and then set myself up with another account with a different name.
Just be aware out there.
Hope this helps,
Dave.
